b'In 2010 Nick Hunt set out on an epic walk in the footsteps of Patrick Leigh Fermor, across the whole European continent \\u2018from the Hook of Holland to the Golden Horn.\\u2019 Relying, like his hero, on the hospitality of strangers and using Patrick Leigh Fermor\\u2019s writings as his only guide, Hunt crossed Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, partly to see how much had changed, and how much hadn\\u2019t, but mainly in order to have a \\u2018good old-fashioned adventure.\\u2019 His account of his journey Walking the Woods and the Water is published by Nicholas Brealey. Nick Hunt was in conversation with Patrick Leigh Fermor\\u2019s friend and biographer Artemis Cooper, who in 2013 worked with Colin Thubron to complete Paddy\\u2019s final work The Broken Road.
